I guess hybrid a still confusing to me. I did get some clarification on the matter. I do like them and had my eye on them for some time now. I recently bought a comfort bike and yes Delmarva there are bike called comfort bikes just like mountain bike or road bike. Your right though just because it says it's a "comfort bike" does not mean others will not be it's just geared to be comfortable however you comfort and someone elses comfort are different.
